Opposition Knesset members stormed out of the plenum session Monday, in protest of the coalition's political conduct.

Opposition Knesset members boycotted the Knesset discussions Tuesday in protest of the coalition's conduct. Opposition MKs are saying that the coalition has been violating parliament's rules of conduct.

The Likud published a format statement denouncing the opposition for storming out of the Knesset plenum Monday afternoon.

"The Opposition's shameful conduct was degrading to the Knesset. Its members had better learn what responsible opposition is," said the statement.
